Not one, not two, but three pieces of board furniture for the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman have just been made available via the Spare Oom Studio shop and if you are quick you can snag a whopping 20% off your order too!
Get your Forest, Chasm and Pits while they are hot!
I can’t wait to see what’s coming next… 🙂
Following on from a few weeks ago when the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman was played by characters from There She Goes on BBC Four, it seems that Talisman: Digital Edition from Nomad Games & Asmodee Digital got a bit of love too.
We were playing catch up with our viewing of the series today and, during the second episode, Bubble Chess, Emily (played by Jessica Hynes) is seen playing the game where her Warrior loses a battle against the Sentinel!
As luck would have it, the game is currently part of the latest Warhammer Humble Bundle where you can buy Talisman: Digital Edition, along with The Harbinger, The Blood Moon and The Sacred Pool expansions for the lowest tier price.
You can up your price to score a boatload of other Warhammer-themed goodies too, and there is even a Humble Bundle featuring Warhammer audio books from Black Library.
Joyous news on “Talisman Day”!
Those hard-working boffins at Nomad Games & Asmodee Digital have just flicked the switch to launch The Cataclysm Expansion for Talisman: Digital Edition!
Restart your clients and download it now!
To celebrate the 35th Anniversary of our favourite game, I’ll be having a game as the Pathfinder (the latest character pack) against all of the characters from the new expansion.
Wish me luck!
Also… as a special treat for the 35th Anniversary of Talisman, renowned designer John Goodenough will be discussing what it was like to work on the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman, via Twitch. Be sure to tune in today at 4pm GMT.
November 5th will be the 35th anniversary of Talisman: The Magical Quest Game.
Thanks to Bob Harris for designing a classic fantasy game that has resulted in (currently) four (and a bit) Editions in a boatload of languages from Games Workshop, Fantasy Flight Games, Giochi Uniti, Galakta, Edge Entertainment, and many other international licensees over the years, plus four spin-off games from Pegasus Spiele and three awesome digital versions from Nomad Games & Asmodee Digital!
Who knows what else we may see in the lands of Talisman?
Will you be playing a game to celebrate?
Many thanks to Marc Willson for alerting me to the fact that the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman got some screen time in the new series There She Goes on BBC Four, starring David Tennant & Jessica Hynes, this week.
It was nice to see the game featured but, blimey, what a seriously cracking show! Dark humour and a few tears along the way. Fantastic!
At least they are playing it semi-properly, unlike when it featured on The Big Bang Theory!
*UPDATE*
It’s finished… and it’s incredible!
Leavon of Spare Oom Studio is certainly not letting the grass grow under his feet when it comes to creating exciting board furniture for the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman!
He has tweaked and upscaled his 3D sculpt of the Crown of Command to a massive 25cm, featuring a removable Crown and a spot to store one of his printed Talismans. The plastic minis from the game will even fit onto the ledges!
Check out the Spare Oom Studio Facebook page for a video of the print in progress and more news…

Well, he’s only gone and done it again! The talented Leavon Archer from Spare Oom Studio has released another two sets of board scenery models for the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman!
The Hidden Valley, complete with a trio of dinosaur residents, and FOUR pieces to represent the various Woods spaces on the main Talisman board.
He’s also put up a special deal on 3D printed Talismans, should you wish to replace your card versions with something a bit more substantial.
There’s not much of the board left to model now it seems, so I wonder what is going to be coming next?

Just a quick bit of news today about the arrival of I Reami Perduti for the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman from Giochi Uniti along with an embedded link to Facebook page for Talisman Island.
Last time I tried this the link wouldn’t work properly if you clicked it, so try the one below!

Italian-speaking fans of Talisman can be happy today as I Reami Perduti, the expansion that combines The Nether Realm and The Deep Realms expansions is finally on sale via the Giochi Uniti web store.
There is no news yet as to whether another publisher might print other language versions of the collection (English?), but Games Workshop has been a bit quiet of late on the Talisman front.
Hopefully we will see some other news pertaining to Talisman and Relic at the UK Games Expo, as Games Workshop, Pegasus Spiele and Wizkids all have stands there.
Keep an eye on the Facebook page for Talisman Island as I’ll be uploading anything I see during my visit there on Friday the 1st of June.
There was some great news from Giochi Uniti this morning, as they have announced an officially licensed expansion for the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman which combines The Nether Realm and The Deep Realms expansions for Italian players!
Previously only available as Print on Demand expansions which were printed in-house by Fantasy Flight Games, this new printing will be the first time that these expansions have been printed on standard cardstock and the boards from The Deep Realms will be mounted on thicker boards! It will all be packaged in a box featuring new cover artwork by Fabio Porfidia the same size as the standard small expansions, like The Blood Moon and The Reaper.
There’s no news currently from Giochi Uniti or Games Workshop as to whether these will be available in other languages, including English, but I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything.
